Westcott will be Gibson's Warren County guy

Unsurprisingly, Rep.-elect Chris Gibson has named Mark Westcott as his regional representative for the northern part of the 10-county 20th Congressional District. Gibson, a Republican from Kinderhook, defeated Scott Murphy in the November election.

He is slowly building his offices and staff. “We are working out the details right now, but we will be keeping a North Country office,” said Gibson’s spokesman Dan Odescalchi.

Happy quotes from the press release:

“Mark Westcott has impressed me with his commitment and devotion to this area,” said Gibson. “He and his family continue to work selflessly in order to improve our communities. I am honored to know that Mark Westcott will be representing my office in the northern region. His compassion and knowledge of the issues and challenges people face in the region will help us better serve our constituents.”

“When I was first introduced to now Congressman-elect Chris Gibson, I knew this was a man of integrity. His service to this nation inspired me and his clarity of purpose for redirecting our nation motivated me to get involved,” Westcott noted. “It is an honor to represent him and to help him achieve his mission to improve people’s lives.”
